LL236 - French 3

Module content and teaching

Principal aims

The module will give the students the chance to spend some time learning and reinforcing the basics of the language. It will offer an opportunity for students not specialising in foreign languages to improve their communicative competence as a supplement to their studies in other spheres. The objectives of the module are to enable the students to develop competence in a range of language tasks performed in familiar work and social contexts, to extend skills in reading and listening comprehension and to consolidate and extend the knowledge and use of grammar and syntax. For those students intending to go on study or work placements, this module can work as a refresher and promote confidence-building for communicating with native speakers abroad.

Principal learning outcomes

"By the end of the module, students will have: developed competence in a broad range of factual, persuasive and expressive language tasks performed in a variety of contexts; improved and consolidated the four skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing) at an intermediate level; consolidated and expanded grammatical and syntactical competence; gained some insight into different aspects of contemporary French society through access to audio material such as radio extracts and written material such as selected newspaper and magazine articles.
